Chapter 62 Another Gold Mine Discovered

After a while, Don Valentine drove a Mercedes-Benz to Jobs' house.

After Valen ordered the car, he ran towards Jobs' living room.

He slammed the door and said, "Steve, I won't allow you to do this."

In fact, in 1976, Bushnell, the boss of Joe Buss at Atari, recommended Joe Buss's company to Valentine to help Joe Bus raise funds.

But Valentine saw Jobs's clothes and was not interested in him. At that time, Jobs was wearing truncated jeans, slippers, long shawls and two Ho Chi Minh beards.

Valentine was a person who valued appearance very much. At that time, Valentine did not lend Joe Bus funds, but introduced Joe Bus to former Intel marketing development manager Magula.

It was not until April 1977 that I saw Apple's second generation at the first West Coast Computer Exhibition. As a Valentine, who had been in the semiconductor industry for nearly 20 years, I knew that he had misunderstood, so I later invested in Joe Bus's company, so now he is not allowed to come to Apple to get a share of the pie.

"Listen, Don, this is my idea. I need Lee's idea and Lee's funds to enter the company." Joe Bus said.

"No, Steve, if you need investment, Sequoia can take it out to invest in the company, but I can't let this Asian thief invest in the company. Sequoia has the power to lead the investment in Apple." Valentine said angrily.

"Dang, Li has a wonderful idea. He must join the company, and we need him." Jobus said.

Li Zhiwen watched the two quarrel without saying anything. In the end, Qiao Bus defeated Valentine. After all, Valentine was very optimistic about Apple, and he didn't want to be evil about this incident.

Sometimes being stubborn is not a bad thing. You see, if it weren't for Qiao Bus' stubbornness, Li Zhiwen wouldn't have invested in Apple.

"Well, I agree, sir, I wonder how much you can pay?" said Valentine.

"US$5 million, 20% of the shares." Li Zhiwen said.

"Oh Maiga, you're robbing." Jobus and Valentine said at the same time.

"Two gentlemen, in fact, I think my idea is worth 20% of the shares, right?" Li Zhiwen said with a smile. "In addition, I heard that the company's sales in the Far East are not very ideal. Just so happen that I have a newspaper with sales of 500,000 copies in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. I can help promote it, and even I can take over the sales of the company's products in the Far East."

When the two heard Li Zhiwen's newspaper, they knew that he had some significant influence in the Far East and had a great effect on the sales of Apple's second generation. The sales volume had some significant impact on the future listing of Apple, so they agreed, but they had their own opinions on the capital and the shares they held.

"$5 million, accounting for 5% of the shares," said Jobus.

"No, no, no, two gentlemen, Apple is not worth the price, and I have a technology investment, $10 million, 20% of the shares." Li Zhiwen said

Li Zhiwen doesn't care much about how much investment he invests. What he values ​​is how many shares he can occupy.

Several people were verbally quarreled for a long time, but still couldn't settle down.

So Li Zhiwen said impatiently: "US$10 million, 15% of the shares, this is my last bottom line."

Valentine and Jobus looked at each other and agreed.

For Valentine, according to Li Zhiwen's investment ratio, he took a big advantage. A year ago, he acquired 30% of Apple's shares for US$2 million. If calculated based on this ratio, the investment ordered by Valentine has increased by more than ten times.

"Now, Li, you can finish your thoughts." Jobus said.

"Wait, Steve, let's sign the contract first." Li Zhiwen said and called Zhai Zuchang from his team.

Originally, Zhai Zuchang was very questioned about Li Zhiwen bringing him to the United States, why did he take him abroad? However, he did not ask questions, just pretended to have a go abroad for a while, but now he fully understood Li Zhiwen's thoughts.

He admired Li Zhiwen very much. After all, Hong Kong people are now playing in this small hole in Hong Kong. As a result, Li Zhiwen jumped to the deep pond in the United States. He also admired Li Zhiwen's experience. He started from scratch and created such a large property as Qilin Newspaper. How could he not admire him?

Qiao Bus and Valen were also helpless. They originally thought about seeing if they could delay it, but Li Zhiwen had to sign the contract directly, so Valen had to call the lawyer from the company and call out.

The lawyers of both parties established the contract, and Li Zhiwen and Qiao Bus signed both the names on it.

Valentine asked, "Li, I wonder when the funds will be available?"

He was not interested in Li Zhiwen's ideas, but just wanted to know the capital situation. After all, after accepting Li Zhiwen's investment, he couldn't make a fortune.

Li Zhiwen said: "I finished talking to Steve what I just thought and then I could transfer money to the bank."

Valen made a ok gesture and sat down. He also wanted to hear the thoughts that Joebus valued.

Li Zhiwen continued to explain the previous words to Qiao Bus. Qiao Bus' eyes became brighter and brighter, and Valentine couldn't help but admire Li Zhiwen. He felt that Li Zhiwen's attainment in personal computers was not inferior to everyone, but why didn't he start a company by himself? Valentine was a little confused.

If Li Zhiwen knew what Valen had thought, he would have laughed. He didn't have any skills, but it was a bit higher than ordinary people's vision.

Zhong Chuhong also looked at Li Zhiwen with little stars in his eyes, wondering how Li Zhiwen knew so much. Although she didn't understand what Li Zhiwen was saying, it didn't prevent her from admiring Li Zhiwen.

After Li Zhiwen instilled his ideas into Joe Bus, Joe Bus couldn't wait to experiment. He handed over the money received to Valentine, and ran to the garage to do the experiment excitedly.

Li Zhiwen and his group did not care about Qiao Bus, but walked out of Qiao Bus' house together and prepared to transfer money to the bank.

"Li, how did you come?" asked Valentine.

"We just came here by taxi." Li Zhiwen smiled bitterly.

"That's a pity. It's hard to stop a taxi here. I'll take you to the bank with this beauty." After that, he opened the car door and wanted to sit in.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his 30s in suit and tie rushed out from somewhere, which scared Cao Wenyu so much that he hurriedly protected Li Zhiwen.

When Li Zhiwen saw that this person was not here to find them, he told Cao Wenyu not to be so cautious.

"Mr. Valentine, please invest in our company. As long as you have $2 million, I can sell 30% of the shares and can help you earn hundreds of millions of dollars." said the middle-aged man.

"Sorry, Larry, I really can't see any potential in your company. Please don't waste my time. I still have customers here." Valentine said, then closed the car door.

Li Zhiwen didn't care either, so he took Zhong Chuhong and Cao Wenyu into the car.

Valentine started the car and galloped away, leaving the middle-aged man in place.

"Tang, who was that person just now?" Li Zhiwen had nothing to talk to Valen and asked casually.

"Oh, nothing, just a small character named Larry Elison. There is a company that asks me to invest in, which is called RSI or something. I didn't remember that in Silicon Valley, I don't know how many characters like this are, so I don't have that much money to invest in them. And the products he is researching have been made public. Since it has been made public, it will definitely not be valuable, otherwise IBM will be on the morning." Valentine said indifferently.

Li Zhiwen suppressed his shock and said to Valentine: "Tang, stop the car, I will tell my bodyguard something, there is something he needs to do."

Valentine stopped the car by the side of the road as he was, Li Zhiwen got out of the car, called Cao Wenyu aside, and asked him to find the man just now.

"But boss, what should you do if you are safe?" Cao Wenyu said.

"It's nothing, but I will protect myself. Besides, we are going to the bank, not where to go. Remember, after finding him, don't take him to the bank, find a cafe near the bank, take him over, don't let Valentine see him, come to the bank alone." Li Zhiwen said.

Cao Wenyu nodded and returned the same way.

Li Zhiwen and Zhong Chuhong went to the bank to handle the transfer,

I got Cao Wenyu's affirmative gesture at the bank entrance and separated from Valentine.
